on my way to work this morning i met foppish celebrity Hugh Grant. He got out of a car near Harley Street and was hobbling over to a parking meter, obviously in some discomfort (looked like his back was giving him jip).

I asked if I could take his photo and he said "oh don't please", which i took to be a negative. i left him in peace to go about his day.

I guess I could still have taken his photo as he is a 'celebrity' and therefore public property, but I decided that was a bit cruel.

I did a quick search for Hugh Grant and Back Pain and it appears he has suffered from back pain before. I should have shared some of my stories of Chronic Pain with him. We could have bonded over some Gabapentin (or something).
